Algarve town to host animation display |
Art lovers staying in Algarve villas will have the chance to take part in a unique experience this summer in the town of Lagoa.
A series of works by William Kentridge will be exhibited at the Convento de Sao Jose from June 15th until September 7th.
Kentridge is renowned around the world for his work in animation, which often combines images of the fantastic with the real to create a unique world.
His exhibition in the Algarve this year will take influences from the work of Georges Melies, the French filmmaker who pioneered the use of a number of special effects and animation techniques.
Recent years have seen substantial expansion in Portugal's private and public art collections.
The forthcoming Kentridge exhibition will be presented in collaboration with the Ellipse Foundation Contemporary Art Collection.
